Description The Paramount: Savyon

We’re speechless, no words will ever do this home justice. Complete with a pool, hot tub, elevator and cinema room, this palatial villa is lavish, elegant, and opulent all at the same time. There’s plenty of room for quiet moments – en-suite bedrooms with sleigh beds, Japanese soaking tubs and a master with a freestanding fireplace. Plus more than enough space for socialising like royalty; in the grand lounge amidst marble busts and velvet chaise longues; in the kitchen where a twinkling chandelier illuminates the central island; or in the hot tub, under the shade of a gazebo. The terrace is swathed with thick curtains, providing the perfect spot for an evening tipple overlooking the pool, and there’s plenty of room to store merlots from the Judean Hills or Cab Sauvs from Upper Galilee in the cavernous wine cellar. The host, Eti, has designed everything herself – and it’s easy to see that she cares for the smallest of small details.

Home truths:
*It’s a lived-in home – expect to share the space with the host’s belongings (clothes, toiletries and the like)
*Because the house is so big, the wifi connection isn’t fantastic all over the place
*This is not central Tel Aviv, it’s more like a suburb (Savyon) – it's only about twenty-five minutes by car to Tel Aviv though
